Camille Ward is Dead. Again.

In life, she was the darling of the Antebellum South. In unlife, she was one of the most predatory vampires in American history. The Rights of Magical Persons Act reinvented her as a socialite and activist for vampire kind. Now, she’s dust in her own foyer and it’s up to the Agents of Terrestrial Affairs to figure out why.

When werewolves drive pickup trucks and the boogeyman works minimum wage, it’s up to the agents of Terrestrial Affairs to ease the friction between the mundane and the magical. Finding Camille’s killer was the easy part. The hard part is getting everyone back alive.
